It actually makes sense when you think about it. The people on Twitter were obviously thinking 'people wont be arsed about this mediocre signing if we get beat' So they said it whilst there was still a glimmer of hope left in the derby.

Why would they reveal this signing when they did? I really dont get the logic behind it

On the podcast that someone kindly linked to earlier in the thread, the Turkish journo mentioned about besikas fans still following their players when they had left the club and that we would "gain" 1.5m Turkish followers. I imagine it would be something to do with the timing in Turkey for them then, as there's no other reasonable explanation.

At least...hopefully...we've got the striker situation resolved. This is the guy who is being asked to replace Lukaku. His goalscoring stats look decent, let's just hope he actually fits whatever the hell the system is that we are trying to play.

Doesn’t look the sort who’s going to run all day like DCL or bring other players into play much but seems to come alive when the ball does get around to him. Capable of holding up the ball to a basic level, composed in the box and always on the move when it does get near him.
